Study Notes
Business Analytics Framework
- Focuses on a cross-industry standard process for data mining.
The Hard Reality of Data
- Vast amounts of data are being stored in databases.
- Businesses are data-rich but knowledge-poor.
- Data is a liability unless used for improving business practices.
- Standard data analysis techniques are helpful but insufficient.
Examples of Enormous Data
- Transactional data from credit card companies.
- Search engine queries on Google and similar platforms.
- Social media data.
What is Data Mining?
- Applying analytical techniques to business processes to leverage data effectively.
- Main goals include: use data, uncover relevant knowledge, and apply insights.
Data Mining Tasks
- Summarization, Classification/Prediction (including Classification, Concept Learning, Regression), Clustering, Dependency modeling, and Anomaly detection.
Summarization
- Goal: describe a specific subset of data concisely.
- Example: calculating the average downtime of all plant equipment monthly, or total income generated by sales representatives per region per year.
- Techniques include Statistics and Information Theory.
Prediction
- Goal: learn a function to associate a data item with a response variable.
- If the response variable is discrete, focus on classification; if continuous, focus on regression.
- Examples include assessing creditworthiness in a loan process or predicting response to a marketing campaign.
- Techniques like decision trees, neural networks, and naive Bayes.
Clustering
- Goal: identify meaningful categories or clusters to describe data and maximize similarity within clusters while minimizing similarity between clusters.
- Examples used include segmenting business customer base, building a taxonomy of animals.
- Techniques used include methods like K-Means, hierarchical clustering, and Kohonen SOM.
Dependency Modeling
- Goal: find a model to describe significant dependencies or relationships between variables.
- Examples used include analyzing consumer goods in the market for relationships and associations, like market baskets, also used to find cause-effect relationships in medical treatments.
- Techniques used include methods like association rules and graphical modeling.
Anomaly Detection
- Goal: discover significant changes in data from prior information.
- Examples used include detection of fraudulent credit cards, or detecting anomalous behavior in nuclear plant turbines.
- Techniques used include methods like novelty detectors and probability density models.
Why a Standardized Data Mining Process?
- Reliable and repeatable processes are essential for those with little background in data mining.
- Frameworks support replication of data mining projects
- Useful in improving project planning and management.
- Provides a sense of security/comfort for new users.
CRISP-DM Framework
- A structured approach to data mining that provides a clear roadmap for planning, execution, and evaluation of projects
- By following the CRISP-DM process, data analysts can ensure that their data mining projects are well-defined, well-executed, and well-documented.
- The framework includes phases: Business Understanding, Data Understanding, Data Preparation, Modeling, Evaluation, Deployment
CRISP-DM Phases Overview
- Phase I: Business Understanding: Defining business objectives and data mining goals.
- Phase II: Data Understanding: Gathering and understanding initial data.
- Phase III: Data Preparation: Processing and cleaning data.
- Phase IV: Modeling: Building the data mining model.
- Phase V: Evaluation: Assessing the model's accuracy and relevance for business objectives.
- Phase VI: Deployment: Implementing and maintaining the model.
Additional Details on specific phases
- Business Understanding (Phase I): determine objectives, collect information about the business to solve the problem, and create technical goals.
- Data Understanding (Phase II): collecting initial data, exploring the data, describing it and identify data quality issues.
- Data Preparation (Phase III): record and select attributes, clean and transform the data, select and consolidate data.
- Modeling (Phase IV): select appropriate models based on the business objective, build a preliminary model, identify potential methods that are useful to solving the specific problem, test the model's effectiveness to identify and validate the model.
- Evaluation (Phase V): Evaluate the model to determine if it meets the defined goals and objectives, identify and address potential problems in the data that impacted the data mining process.
- Deployment (Phase VI): Implement the model into the business, develop a plan for monitoring and maintaining the model's accuracy in the long term, produce a final report including business goals and experience.
Specific Example: Seattle Airbnb Data
- Presents a case study for utilizing the CRISP-DM methodology to extract useful insights from data.
- Includes questions like how listing prices are distributed, which neighborhoods have the most listings, and whether listing prices can be predicted based on listing attributes.
